The Magdala Podcast Discerning Religious Life During Recovery
In this episode, Rachael and Annie speak with Sister Mary Caterina Vola about the process, difficulties, and great beauty of discerning religious life in and after sexual addiction. The ladies share their own stories of discernment, and offer advice on discerning with an open heart and fighting the lie that you’re not worthy of being a Bride of Christ.
Welcome to a place of honesty, hope, and healing for women struggling with sexual addiction. We’re so glad you’re here.
